Toall whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that we, EDWARD H. LANIEn 4and FRANKV K. DnxEsBAoH, citizens of the United Sta-tes, and residents of Cincinnati,

5 Ohio., have vinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Pastry-Making Machines, vof which the following is a specification.

4Our invention relates to lthat class of pastry-making machines in which hollow arti` 1o cles are molded between dies, and consists in the combination with a die havin any desired number of cores, of a female ie having corresponding recesses and composed of two sections hinged together, with means for automatically opening and closing the sections and for snpportinglthe parts so as to coat the cores and expose t e dies properly to a heater and facilitate the manipulation of the parts, .as fully set forth hereinafter and illustrated' in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional elevation. v 3o The dies employed for molding the pasiti-shown as adapted to mold and bake w at are ordinarily termed ice-crea1n cones consist essentially of a` male die G composed of a carrier and any suitable number of cores or cones 4, supported thereby, and a female die F consisting of two sections 24, 25, hingd together at the lower ends and having soc ts to receive the aforesaid cores. As shownthere are two female dies and a corre- 4 0 spending number of cores of the male die, but

hereinafter we shall generally refer to the dies as consisting of a single male die and a single sectional female die, although it is obvious that a plurality may be employed.

The female die is supported by a carrier E of such construction and combined with such operating plances that it may be raised and lowers to secure the automatic openin and closin of the sectional die, a result whic is effects by providing suitable bearinlgs o t e that will coact to separate the seetlons die F as the latter-.1s raised, and bring them together and hold them asI and after the die is owered. To this end we prefer to 1 rovide lthe die F with a suitable inclined caring 2is a pers ctve sectional view s lowing the adapted to a iixed bearing in such manner as to secure the desired operation upon the vertical Inovement of the die F. Although the inclined bearing of the die .F may be formed by means of the side of a groove at the end of the hinged member or section of the die, as shown it consists of an inclined bar or blade 9 arranged sufficiently beyond the side of the die to permit the intermediate passage of a iixed bearing in the form of a rod 10. With this arrangement when the die F is raised the action of the bearings will be to open tho dies, thus permitting the withdrawal of the material baked therein and upon lowering the die the hinged section will be close against the other section which is rigidly attached to its support. In the construction shown' the support consists of a carrier E provided with a rack 34 for engaging the teeth lof a curved rack 5 upon an oerating lever l) fu/lerumed at 3 upon a suita le sup- )o1-t. it frame A having side bars 2O between which extend the bearing rods 10, which further act to brace the bars 20 and form part of the frame, and the rack 34 slides in a groove in and is guided by a bracket 7 on an axial rod 8 of the frame VA, the pivot or bearing of the lever D being in one of the cross bars 20. As shown each of the cross bars has a semicircular rejection 2 constituting an end bearing a apted to the curved recesses a: inthe heater casing B, so that inserted in said casing to be swung therein, as hereinafter described, turning upon the said bearings x.

The male die carrier 40 is connected by an arm or rod 3l to a swivel 32 swinging at the outer end of the axial bar 8 which extends be 'ond the cross bar 20, the arrangement being such that the male die may swing to one side to introduce its cores into batter in a suitable batter receptaclel, supported by a bracket at the outside of the casing B, and the carrier 4() may, after the cores are thus coated, be raised and swung to a position over the female die, and then lowered to introduce the cores int-o the sockets of the die F.

To aid in supporting the male die the bar 8 is provided. with a standard l5, which may be connected to swing with the swivel 32 and between which and the arm 31 extends a supporting spring 3,3, which tends to maintain the male die in its elevated position but will yield to permit it to be depressed.

the frame A may bev As shown the support is in the form of The cores are introduced into the female die when the latter is in its depressed osition, and when the cores have thus een fully introduced an erin 34, which extends from one'of two curved projections 35, 35 at the end of the carrier 4U, is brought parallel to the lever D, and may then be connected thereto by a link 16, and this permits the frame A to be swung upon its bearings x in the casing D, the semicircular projections 2 and 35 coinciding, and forming together atA each end of the frame a circular bearing which can rotate in the bearings :t of the casing B as the frame A is rotated.' This crmits the dies to be subjected at all portlons to the action of a heater C, which, as shown, consists of perforated gas pipes 30, but may be of any suitable construction. After the material has been properly baked the frame A is brought to the position shown in Fig. 1 the male die is elevated and carried to one side as shown in said figure, and the carrier E is raised, when the sections of the die F will be separated to permit the removal of the y baked material.

In order to hold the baked material in the die F rather than have it adhere to the cores, the interior of each socket of said die may be serrated. i

In order to protect thc ends of the sectional dies from excessive heat, inasmuch as they are nearer to the heater than the other pol'- tions, we provide suitable guards in the form of curved cross plates 12 supported by arms 21 on the frame A in such a position as to be below the ends of the sectional dies.

inasmuch as our invention may be embodied if but a sin le sectional die and a carrier havi a num er of cores correspondin to the sdlcets in the said die is employer?, we shall in our claims hereinafter generally refer to a single die only but it will of course be understood that a pluralit of dies may be combined to operate in li e manner as shown n the drawing.
